Abstract
This document provides advice to the designers of digital
communication equipment, link-layer protocols, and packet-switched
local networks (collectively referred to as subnetworks), who wish to
support the Internet protocols but may be unfamiliar with the
Internet architecture and the implications of their design choices on
the performance and efficiency of the Internet.
